Rabbitohs rumours, signings, injuries etc

[Curns13]

No but it makes Sutton good value. If you lose Sutton he has to be replaced still.

The 'Long Serving Player Allowance' makes Sutto such good value. If he were to leave than we could use that money on Reyno or Inglis or even the twins and have another 300K to spend in our salary cap. As the NRL website states "Also included is a Long Serving Player Allowance ($300K) per Club for eligible players who have played more than six continuous years of grade football with that club including Holden Cup and NSW Cup." All of those players (except Tom I think) will be eligible for it as of next season.

Status atm seems to be:

1 Gagai signed
2. Cody contract upgrade
3. Gray undecided
4. AJ to tigers
5. Tom to take better offer elsewhere
6. Rochow to ESL

Ok I thought it was longer than 6 years.

A bit random but does anyone reckon we might be trying to move Cody to fullback to accomodate Adam Doueihi in the near future?

But he played FB for the Bears at the weekend?

 

[alien]

Surely the discount doesn't keep his wage under 200k though? There's absolutely no way.

Sutton is worth more than $200,000 per year.

 

[alien]

Maybe if they adjust their attitudes everything else will fall in place.

George needs to stop getting suspended!

 

[CAFPOW]

I think his first game for Norths he was on the bench, Halfback in the 2nd game and Fullback last week.

Yeah I had no idea either until I looked it up.

This kid is so far away from a first grader it's not funny. Cost the Bears a win on the weekend with an intercept for the 3rd week in a row. His intercept cost them against Warriors a few weeks back also. Can't cry on the field at NRL!

The other big signing for next year is Farah as his tigers subsidy ends and Souths cough up the $600k, unless he or Cook leave, watch this space!

$600,000 isn't too much for an Origin hooker, especially since the salary cap is going up, and Cook wouldn't be on too much. I hope we keep both for next season. Are you sure it's $600,000 though??? I heard it is $500,000 for his last season with Souths.

Would souths be tempted to move cook on and just have dietz as back up

I don't think that would save much money though. Cook wouldn't be on much.

 

[SaraSassypants]

Oh good.

Nathan Brown was saying something the other day about a Sydney club being able to get the TPA's that the Knights can't.

So you reckon about 550 out of our cap and 100k TPA's?????? If that's the case I'm fine with that.



Re Sam he takes 800k out of our cap and TPA's come on the side separately?????

(He's worth the 800).

I don't know how much is TPAs but I can confirm it's not the 700k some media has been reporting. Sometimes I wonder if they report over inflated salaries when it suits them. For example it was all over the news that Milford was offered 1.2mil a year to go to the Storm, then after he re-signed with Broncos it was reported that Storm never tabled him a formal offer. So either the reporters are trying to stir the pot OR player agents are giving out fake figures to boost their clients salary even more. Either way you get my point RE: Gagais salary.

Having seen how Ari Gold operates, I'd suggest nost rumours are the agents leaking fake news to the media in an attempt to either create interest, force a clubs hand or drive the price up

I don't know how highly Deitz is rated but i would think we'd move on Robbie first, otherwise we're most likely looking for a hooker again 12 months later

 

[alien]

but i would think we'd move on Robbie first

I hope not. The team would be weaker if that were to happen.

 

[Rabbits20]

I don't think that'll happen.

Wit the cap going up we should be fine.

According to the Telecrap, Walker has a new agent. I guess, this is how Walker's new agent negotiate. Give my client more cash or he will walk out with 1 yr left on his contract.

Yes, but I thought Walker had 2 years left.

At his age, he wouldn't want to languish at the North Sydney Bears.
